Rhianna needs her parents or someone older in her life , who has her best interest, to help her make some good decisions for her life. It is great that she has money, but she really need the right people close to her. Her positive assets of her youth, beauty, and money, could hurt her if she does not have God in her life and the right people. She is so young and inexperienced about life, but I do wish her the best!!

rihanna does have her family and friends around her . and she has got more brains than a lot of women older than she is and i speak from experience. for one thing she had a dream and she followed it and it was not like she was by herself, she had the support of family and friends.her family was with her this past week, so family does not always help the situation . sometimes strangers are better than your family. she is very mature for her age and she does not have a dozen little crumb snatchers taling on behind her. theres girls her age with 3 and 4 kids at they are at their mommas house. some are on their own and still not doing nothing with their lives tust keep your prayers going out to rihanna and all of the other young people her age. when i was her age i could make grown up decisions for my mom and dad, rihanna is doing well and she knows about god. and for all of the ups and down that she has gone through this last year and the changes that she has went through to get to wher she is now i would say that she is a very strong youg woman, and she does not need family are no one too defind her she knows what she is all about. she have a family that loves her friends that loves her and she knows about jesus what else does she need. and she knows how to ignore nasety b/s that hits the net about her.people and their negative yapping.shes on to the devil and his mess.

rihanna just needs to keep moving on and doing what she loves doing and remember always that the greats before her has set a perfect road map for her and all of the others in the industry to follow. and to be a success in the industry takes a lot hard work, self determination, learning new things, new ways of doing things and learning how to multi-tasking. it takes a lot of sacrifices and just staying on the day to day grind. she have come a long ways from the first time she landed her stage appearence. the camers love her they have since day one. i love the fact that she is cool , calm, and collective. oh they have worked overtime to try and paint her on a different canvas but the picture that they have worked overtime to produce is not the right one, and the devil can keep trying to push her out of line but he will lose, because the devil aint running nothing but his mouth.
